Vanderbilt University Medical Center announced a new affiliation today with Jackson-based West Tennessee Healthcare, which will open a new cancer center later this year.

The Kirkland Cancer Center is a $37.2 million investment by the Jackson hospital, according to the state permit approved for the project. The academic affiliation with Vanderbilt will help it expand and create new cancer treatment programs.
